Bill > HB1471

This bill establishes a comprehensive procedure for creating and maintaining a Giglio list, which is a record of law enforcement officers with credibility issues that could impact their testimony in criminal cases. The bill defines a Giglio list as a compilation of officers who have been found to have committed intentional dishonesty, criminal violations, evidence mishandling, excessive force, or racially motivated acts. When a law enforcement agency discovers such conduct, they must notify the local prosecuting attorney, who will then independently review the information and decide whether to place the officer's name on the Giglio list. If an officer is added to the list, they must be notified and given opportunities to request reconsideration or provide supplemental information. The prosecuting attorney is required to develop policies for list management and use the list when making charging decisions and disclosing impeachment information to defense counsel. Importantly, the bill protects officers from workplace retaliation solely based on being on the Giglio list and provides civil immunity to prosecuting attorneys for list-related actions. The legislation is designed to ensure transparency and accountability in law enforcement while maintaining the integrity of criminal prosecutions, and it explicitly acknowledges existing legal precedents like Brady v. Maryland and Giglio v. United States.
